I feel like there has to be a medium between "Tweets that shoot context in the head" and "Autobiography attached to a macaroni and cheese recipe". The need for sites to keep you there encourages complete nonsense that doesn't contribute to the thing I'm there for, and so turns me away from long form anything. I got shit to do and a thousand articles competing for attention, most of which were written by bots and contain nothing. The whole scheme is just broken.
I feel like I had a thesis when I started this comment and I forgot where I was going...
